I have everything on agar! And backups in the fridge. I just don't know what is happening with this monotub and I can't seem to get past colonizing the Jar yet.

OK, Tampanensis question.  My original plate now has a halo of tiny pins I somehow failed to notice until just now, and my transplanted plate has barely visible myc on half the surface.  Should either of these go straight to grain?

I’m assuming the yellowing you’re seeing is metabolites from the mycelium likely fighting a contam of some sort. I’m somewhat new too but I’ve spent countless hours researching and I also started out in a 66q monotub with only one grain bag inoculated at first lol. If you do the research and invest in the proper equipment it’s pretty easy. What’s your setup lookin like? Sounds like either your spawn or your grow setup isn’t very clean. Don’t give up man, trust me it will feel like forever until that first pin comes but when it does boy lemme tell ya it’s like winning the mini jackpot. Then when it’s time to harvest your first flush it’s like you’re a little kid again.

Thanks!I have the presto but I use sab. I have a 66 qrt pasty tub. I added a couple extra holes because I live in a humid environment. My agar and jars so far have looked clean. I even did an extra break and shake at the end and it recovered quick. These were no mod jars. I have introduced a few jars with sfds melted to see what is better.

I'm actually growing oyster mushrooms.

That's fine, how are you fruiting them on racks without a fruiting chamber?

Even in commercial or homegrown oyster mushroom setups you have to have a bag around the block to focus the fruiting as well.

You can't just leave the block open, oysters fruit from openings where fae occurs which promotes primordia formation.

Hi everyone. I'm on day 14 s2b of colobian rust and came home from work to yellowing myc. The side was already slightly yellow for 2 days but I just chalked it up to the water running down the side. Now some of the arial bits have yellow. Is it gonna be ok? What should I do? Any advice will help.




I'm feeling a little discouraged. I have been following the guide and I keep messing up. I have went in big and I'm super interested in this Hobby. It's consumed my life the last 2 months, it's all I do. I have 3 more varas in jars but now who knows how that's gonna turn out. Buried my Bluey Vuitton tub out back yesterday. I just wanted mushies I grew for my birthday next week. Sorry for the vent.


So it looks like bacteria is pretty heavy in there. Not 100% sure if I see mold yet. Would like to see pictures of your jars. If you're having this issue what I suggest as a beginner is trying to s2b at a lower ratio of CV. You would increase the amount of spawn you use and reduce the amount of CV you use so that you can still maintain about the same finished substrate thickness in the tub. This helps your mycelium win the race better so to speak against bacteria while you're still strengthening your skills at sterile tek. Try going 1:1 or 1:1.5 is my advice.

Got a wire shelf for my blocks. What is something I can wrap around the shelf to create a greenhouse like effect and keep humidity high?


I think you'll find more help in the gourmet subforum. There's a general discussion thread, and you can find some examples of low tech tents using the search feature.

I think you can make a makeshift tent with something like plastic "drop cloth". Violet had a thread about doing this with a couple of large plastic shelving racks. You'll want a drip tray of some kind of you use a humidifier. You'll need to cycle the air periodically for many species, especially oysters. And you'll want to have some way to vent spores and humid air outside of your house.

Question about pc. There is a 22qt mirro pressure "canner" that I can get for almost nothing. I looked up and they said the difference between cookers and canners is that canners tend to be larger. So I assume it will work fine. Didn't know if anybody had any experience with the mirro brand?

Question about cult in general -

When I look at older pics of mushrooms on here they seem to have huge stem to cap ratios, my own F+ look half the height compared to the photos of the original grows of the strain.

Example:

My grows from the past few months:




Roadkill's Grow from 20+ years ago of the same variety:





Is this because older or more "wild-type" varieties have those longer stems and they've been "domesticated" shorter over the subsequent decades, or is this a function of modern growing practices producing shorter stems - i.e. more FAE after spawning so the mushroom doesn't grow as tall searching for air?

Thoughts?

I had a really mutated and blobby first flush. I didn't remove them because I was afraid I would tear and hurt the mycelium from the substrate, so I cut them off instead.

My question is:
Will those blobby growths be in the way for the coming flushes, should I remove them or just be patient and wait?

The green is just bruising, but those are bacterial as all fuck.  Dry those fruits at full temp (165) for 24 hours for sure, you want to kill off the bacteria.  I wouldn't go for a second flush, I'd start over.

It’s just bruising and turning back to mycelium. Make tea with it. Use boiling water for 15 min
